When SSL is
off-loaded to an intermediate server, you can configure View Connection Server
instances or security servers to allow HTTP connections from the client-facing,
intermediate devices. The intermediate devices must accept HTTPS for
Horizon Client
connections.

To allow HTTP connections
between
View servers
and intermediate devices, you must configure the
locked.properties
file on each View Connection Server instance and security server on which HTTP
connections are allowed.

Even when HTTP connections
between
View servers
and intermediate devices are allowed, you cannot disable SSL in
View.
View servers
continue to accept HTTPS connections as well as HTTP connections.

Note

If your Horizon clients
use smart card authentication, the clients must make HTTPS connections directly
to View Connection Server or security server. SSL off-loading is not supported
with smart card authentication.

Procedure

1

Create or edit the
locked.properties
file in the SSL gateway configuration folder on the View Connection Server or
security server host.

To configure the
View server's
protocol, add the
serverProtocol
property and set it to
http.

The value
http must be typed in
lower case.

3

(Optional) Add properties to
configure a non-default HTTP listening port and a network interface on the
View server.

■

To change the HTTP
listening port from 80, set
serverPortNonSSL to
another port number to which the intermediate device is configured to connect.

■

If the
View server has
more than one network interface, and you intend the server to listen for HTTP
connections on only one interface, set
serverHostNonSSL to the IP address of that network interface.

4

Save the
locked.properties
file.

5

Restart the View
Connection Server service or security server service to make your changes take
effect.

Example: locked.properties
file

This file allows non-SSL HTTP
connections to a
View server.
The IP address of the
View server's
client-facing network interface is 10.20.30.40. The server uses the default
port 80 to listen for HTTP connections. The value
http must be lower
case.
